How to get all the data inside some specific character in jquery

I have some strings separated with comma. Those value I need to get in an array. Which I am able to do. For getting this I had done this.

var productArray = $("#service").data('product').split(',');

And those data are showing properly in productArray variable. Those data format are like this.

["[44]Medicine 2", "[63]Test Sam "]

Now I need to get those number which is inside this character []. For instance I need to get 44 and 63 as per above data given. I had done nothing for this part as I am not getting any way.

You can use array.map to convert your existing array.

Here's an example using .split on [ and ] to break into parts. Another viable solution would be to use a regex.

// from #service.data()
var data = "[44]Medicine 2,[63]Test Sam";

var array = data.split(",");

var ids = array.map(s => s.split("]")[0].split("[")[1]);
console.log(ids)

var id_name = array.map((s) => {
    return { id : s.split("]")[0].split("[")[1], name : s.split("]")[1] };
});
console.log(id_name)

As an alternative, if you can change how the data- attribute is generated, you can store (valid) json directly in the html then jquery's .data() will give you an object so there's no additional parsing required:

var data = $("#data").data("data");

console.log(data.length, data[0].id, data[0].name);
console.log(data);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id='data' data-data='[{"id":"1","name":"test"},{"id":"2","name":"2nd"}]'></div>

You could use RegEx for that: /\[(.*)\]/

let res = ["[44]Medicine 2", "[63]Test Sam "].map(e => Number(e.match(/\[(.*)\]/).pop()));
console.log(res);

Or as one-step solution with your code:

var productArray = $("#service")
    .data('product')
    .split(',')
    .map(e => Number(e.match(/\[(.*)\]/).pop()));

Note: I also implicitly casted to Number.

Try using a regular expression:

//instead of splitting the string:
console.log("[44]Medicine 2,[63]Test Sam ".match(/(?<=\[)\d+(?=\])/g));
